Fox News just reported that Reuters admits second photo was doctored.

Here's the image:

Gosh, I shocked!

Could'a fooled me.

So while we're at it, what about this Nassar Nassar, the AP guy, embedded with Hezbollah, who's always working with the carcass-from-the-rubble-patrol.

Doctoring's not where it's at - too easy to get caught. The real money is in staging it.

The Dinosphere seems to have a problem...

I think this was originally uncovered by a fellow FR.

I wonder how many others were doctored...

The AP I'm sure is doing the same thing.

[jiggyboy]

Same guy, more to come. There are at least two more in the pipeline.

Foxs News says it was a Lebanese photographer

"Seems the two entrails "
That's an offal choice of words! :)

Also the original caption claimed they were missiles instead of flares.

Malice or ignorance? Could be either, or both.

[nikos1121]

Shows three flares...which I think are coming off the plane and I think it shows three missiles instead of one..

Update 845pm Eastern: Rusty at Jawa Report nails the fakery of the above photo, which was captioned "An Israeli F-16 warplane fires missiles during an air strike on Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon, August 2, 2006."

Rusty points out: "The F-16 in the photo is not firing missiles, but is rather dropping chaffe or flares designed to be a decoy for surface to air missiles. However, a close up [of] what Hajj calls "missiles" reveals that only one flare has been dropped. The other two "flares" are simply copies of the original." Check out his replication (see post for enlarged image):

It was Hajj

the same guy photshopped the smoke- and had a bunch of pictures of the dusty disable baby with a bright blue (not a speck of dust) pacifier attached to him in Qana....

My money says that Hajj- the little "stringer" is also on the Hezbo payroll......

Would LOVE someone to dig that up....

oh- who cares- lets just write a story claiming it...

it is their job to prove it false...right?

[wagglebee]

I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to this yesterday (the media faking/making up "news" doesn't really surprise me much anymore), but who was the FReeper who figured it out first?

[Grampa Dave]

Great! Now these staged events/photo ops need to be outed. Lying Reuters said these photos of the dead babies were not photo shopped. Rooters is correct. They weren't photo shopped. These photos came from a staged event with Mr Green Helmet, his clean hands, clean vest and clean uniform.

Reuters, your days of bsing the world are over like Danny Blather's days of bsing the world.

[expatpat]

Yup, Hajj.

Wow...you're right! Good eyes!
